Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a news server for trackback between a news and a blog and a method for interconnecting thereof.
- As the internet technology has developed, news service and blog service through the internet communications network are getting used much more. The internet news service of the related art simply provided an article to readers by means of internet. Recently, however, a user may leave a feedback on a certain article by means of a reply, comment or talkback function, which is then provided to other users of the news service in the form of a bulletin board or list. This kind of internet news service makes it possible for the service users to easily share their opinion about an article, grasp the direction of the public opinion about the subject of the article, and discuss with other users about the news.
- The term ‘blog’ is the abbreviation of ‘weblog’ which is the compound word of ‘web’ and ‘log’. Blog service means a service providing a web page operated by an individual. Blog functions as a one person media operated by a user himself (or herself) thereby making the user not only an information consumer but also an information provider such that he (or she) might build a personalized media. For this reason, the number of blog users currently increases. According to the general way to operate the blog service of the related art, a blog operator posts a blog content and the other user reads the blog content and leaves a comment on it.
- Meanwhile, as the blog service develops, a trackback function has been added to the service so as to provide a better way for the user to leave his or her opinion about the blog content. While the comment of the related art is left in the bulletin board of the corresponding blog, the trackback function enables the comment to be left not only in the corresponding blog but also in other blogs. When a user wants to leave a comment upon a content of “A” blog, for example, (s)he may input the comment not in “A” blog but in his(her) own “B” blog and set the “A” blog as a trackback destination such that a portion of the contents of the “B” blog be posted in the bulletin board of the “A” blog. That is, the trackback function makes two different blogs linked to each other, thereby inducing more interaction as to a certain subject and facilitating easier sharing for information and idea on the subject.
- On the other hand, since a number of users make comments on a certain article in an internet news service, the number of letters of a comment is limited to a predetermined number to prevent a user from expressing his (her) opinion too much.
- Thus, there are problems in the internet news service of the related art in that it is difficult for a user to express his or her in-depth opinion through a comment, it is difficult for a user to make consecutive discussion with other users about a subject when lots of users leave lots of comments causing a comment to be subordinate rapidly, and it is impossible for a user to manage his (her) own comment.
- In case of a blog operator who wants to provide more information to other users of an internet news service when an article of the news service corresponds to the subject of his (her) blog, (s)he may simply leave the URL address of his (her) blog as a comment on the article, which is, however, a troublesome way to lead the users to his (her) blog since the users are required to copy the URL address and paste it to the web browser to access his (her) blog.
- Finally, it is difficult to make a sound discussion in case of comments in news services since there is much likely to be irresponsible curse and swearword due to its one-time writing and anonymity.

-
FIG. 1 shows a system for interconnecting a news and a blog through trackback according to an embodiment of the present invention. The trackback interconnecting system comprises at least oneuser terminal 300 capable of intercommunicating through a communication network, at least oneblog server 200, and anews server 100. - The
user terminal 300 may be a computer, a PDA, portable IT equipment or a mobile as far as it can access to the communication network such as internet. - The
blog server 200 is similar with the blog server of the related art in that it provides theuser terminal 300 with a service for making, managing and updating a personalized webpage. Theblog server 200, as shown inFIG. 2 , comprises a blog service providing means 210 and a first trackback interconnecting means 230. The blog service providing means 210 provides such a conventional service as receiving ablog content 500 from theuser terminal 300 and posting it. The first trackback interconnecting means 230 provides a trackback service for trackback with other blogs. The first trackback interconnecting means 230 may provides the trackback service for trackback with other blogs provided by theblog server 200 itself and with the blogs provided by other blog servers connected to the communication network as well. - The
news server 100 comprises a newsarticle providing means 110, a newscomment providing means 120, and a second trackback interconnecting means 130. The newsarticle providing means 110, as in the conventional case, provides a news article (news_artc) to theuser terminal 300. The news article (news_artc), as shown inFIG. 3 , may be provided in the form to be displayed on the screen of theuser terminal 300 connected to thenews server 300. - The news
comment providing means 120 receives a news comment (news_cmt) on the news article (news_artc) from theuser terminal 300 and provides theuser terminal 300 with the news comment (news_cmt). The newscomment providing means 120 comprises a news comment inputting means 122, anews comment database 124, and a news comment outputting means 126. - The news comment inputting means 122 provides the
user terminal 300 with a newscomment input interface 420 through which the news comment (news_cmt) is received. The news comment (news_cmt) is classified according to the news article (news_artc) and saved in thenews comment database 124. The news comment outputting means 126 provides a newscomment output interface 430 for providing theuser terminal 300 with at least one news comment (news_cmt) per a news article (news_artc). - The second trackback interconnecting means 130 communicates with the first trackback interconnecting means 230 and provides a service for trackback between the
blog content 510 and the news comment (news_cmt, 435). When trackback is requested, one of the first trackback interconnecting means 230 of theblog server 200 and the second trackback interconnecting means 130 of thenews server 100 transmits a trackback ping to the other which replies to it so that they are interconnected with each other. - The trackback ping transmitted when track back is requested may be constructed as follows.
- POST http://www.blog.naver.com/trackback/5
- Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8
- title=Foo+Bar&url=
- In this instance, the ‘title’ is the title of the
blog content 510 or news comment (news_cmt) and the excerpt is the entire or a portion of the body of theblog content 510 or news comment (news_cmt). The ‘url’ indicates the URL address of the original text. In case of trackback of the news comment (news_cmt) made through thenews server 100 to theblog server 200, the URL address of the HTML page where the corresponding news comment (news_cmt) is posted is set as the ‘url’. On the other hand, in case of trackback of theblog content 510 made through theblog server 200 to thenews server 100, the URL address of the HTML page where thecorresponding blog content 510 is posted is set as the ‘url’. - The
news server 100 orblog server 200 which received trackback request through a trackback ping (trac_ping) verifies the validity of the trackback ping (track_ping). If it is valid, the trackback target is posted on the blog bulletin board or the news comment bulletin board, and then a message of successful trackback is transmitted to the server which requested the trackback. Otherwise, a message of failure of trackback is transmitted to the server which requested the trackback. - More various functions may be embodied in the trackback service between a news and a blog if the trackback ping (trac_ping) further includes supplementary information. Hereinafter, referred to
FIG. 3 toFIG. 6 , the each cases of the various functions will be made. -
FIG. 3 shows a schema of trackback interconnection between a news and a blog according to an embodiment of the present invention. Thenews server 100 provides theuser terminal 300 with the picture on the left ofFIG. 3 . The news service picture comprises anews article 410, a newscomment output interface 430, and a newscomment input interface 420. As showin inFIG. 3 , they may be provided all together as elements of one picture while each of them, according to a user s option, may be displayed by means of pop-up or picture conversion. - The
blog server 200 provides theuser terminal 300 with the picture on the right ofFIG. 3 . The blog service picture may comprise ablog content 510 and ablog category 530 on one side of the picture. - When trackback is set between the
news server 100 and theblog server 200, a user may select one of thenews server 100 orblog server 200, make a comment though the selected one, and request a trackback of the comment to the other, such that each of the news comments 435 andblog content 510 of the same contents as shown inFIG. 3 may be provided by the each correspondingservers - First, explanation will be made on the embodiment where the
user terminal 300 makes the news comment (news_cmt) using the news commentsinput interface 420 provided by thenews server 100 and then requests a trackback to theblog server 200. In this case, the news commentsinput interface 420 may comprise a newscomment input unit selection unit 423 for requesting a trackback of the inputted news comment (news_cmt). - To set up a trackback with the
blog server 200, thenews server 100 should be aware of the URL information of the blog to which a user wants a trackback.FIG. 4 shows an embodiment where the trackbackselection unit 423 further comprises a URL address input window for receiving the URL information of the blog from theuser terminal 300. - Optionally, as shown in
FIG. 5 , thenews server 100 may comprise a user information database to store designated blog information (blog_info) by users, the designated blog information including the URL information of a blog to which a user wants trackback. The second trackback interconnecting means 130 may trackback the news comment (news_cmt) inputted through the newscomment input unit selection unit 423. According to this embodiment, convenience of making a news comment improves since a user does not have to input the URL information of his (her) blog whenever (s)he makes a news comment. - In the case of a user who operates a plurality of blogs, for example, blog A and blog B, it is desirable that the user manages his (her) blogs more specially by setting up the blogs as trackback targets based on the subjects of news articles, for example, by setting up the blog A as a trackback target for a political news and setting up the blog B as a trackback target for a IT news. For this purpose, as shown in
FIG. 6 , a plurality of the designated blog information classified by users is stored in theuser information database 140, at least one among the plurality of the designated blog information is selected 424 by theuser terminal 300 through the trackbackselection unit 423, and the second trackback interconnecting means 130 sends a trackback request for the news comment inputted through the newscomment input unit - In most blog services, as shown in
FIG. 3 , a user may set ablog category 530 so as to post a blog content based on its subject. It is preferred that, therefore, a user may trackback a news comment (news_cmt) to a blog according to theblog category 530 pre-registered through theblog server 200 by the user. For this purpose, as shown inFIG. 7 , ablog category 530 corresponding to the designated blog information (blog_info) is further selected by theuser terminal 300 through the pull-down menu 425 of the trackbackselection unit 423, the second trackback interconnecting means 130 trackbacks the news comment (news_cmt) with the selected blog category information (blog_ctgr_info), and the blog service providing means 210 posts the news comment (news_cmt) on the selected category as ablog content 510. In this case, thenews server 100 receives in advance from theblog server 200 the category information of the blog corresponding to the designated blog information (blog_info) and transmits it to theuser terminal 300 when a news comment is inputted. According to this embodiment, inconvenience is reduced in that a user does not have to re-categorize the news comment according to the created blog category. - Recently, a blog service creates a privilege to open for each of the blog contents so as to prevent the infringement of the individual privacy. It is preferable that a user creates a privilege to open when (s)he makes a news comment (news_cmt) in consideration of the characteristics of the blog service to which many and unspecified persons may access, so as to prevent the individual's thought or privacy from being revealed. For this purpose, as shown in
FIG. 43 , a privilege to open with respect to the blog corresponding to the designated blog information (blog_info) is further selected by theuser terminal 300 through the trackbackselection unit 423, the second trackback interconnecting means 130 trackbacks the news comment (news_cmt) with the selected privilege to open information (blog_prv_info), and the blog service providing means 210 posts the news comment (news_cmt) according to the selected privilege to open. Consequently, inconvenience is reduced in that user does not have to access to his (her) blog again after making a news comment (news_cmt) to set up a privilege to open with respect to the trackbacked news comment. To further improve the users convenience, the news comment (news_cmt) is configured to be “open to public” as a default when the news comment (news_cmt) is made, and the news comment (news_cmt) may be changed to be “close to public” at the user's option through thenews server 100 orblog server 200 when the new comment (news_cmt) is made or after the news comment is registered. - According to the related art, a reader of a news article who wants to request more detailed information about the news article or send a feedback on the news article such as objection, protest, and encouragement, needs to call the pressman of the news article or to send the corresponding contents to the pressman through e-mail by driving a separate e-mail application. However, since the method of the related art requires additional time and endeavor, only a few readers send the pressman their opinion on the news article as a feedback. According to the embodiment of the present invention shown in
FIG. 8 , however, the newsarticle providing means 110 is configured to provide apressman blog information 114 of the pressman in addition to the news article, the trackbackselection unit 423 is configured to further receive the selection of whether to trackback the news comment (news_cmt) to the pressman s blog from theuser terminal 300, and if so, the second trackback interconnecting means 130 further trackbacks the news comment (news_cmt) inputted through the newscomment input unit 420 to the pressman s blog according to the pressman blog information (prss_blog_info). Consequently, much more users or readers are likely to send their opinion on a news article to the corresponding pressman as a feedback conveniently. - Below is explained an embodiment of the present invention where a
blog content 510 is made through ablog server 200 and is trackbacked to anews server 100 as a news comment (news_cmt). The trackback from theblog server 200 to thenews server 100 is similar with the trackback of the related art between theblog servers news server 100, the trackback information of a news article on which a news comment (news_cmt) would be made should be known. Thus, as shown inFIG. 9 , it is desirable that the news article providing means 110 of the present invention further provides news article trackbackinformation 411 in addition to the news article, the news article trackbackinformation 411 comprising the URL information of the news article (news_artc). According to this embodiment, a user accesses to his (her) blog, makes a news comment on the news article in the form of ablog content 510, and sets up trackback of the news comment to thecorresponding news server 100 based on the news article trackbackinformation 411 provided. The second trackback interconnecting means 130 of thenews server 100 receives the trackback request from the first trackback interconnecting means 230 of theblog server 200 and, according to the trackback request, outputs the blog content transmitted from theblog server 200 through the news comment outputting means 126 of the corresponding news article. According to this embodiment, a user may make a news comment (news_cmt) accompanied by various multimedia by using the blog content input interface of his (her) own blog which (s)he is used to. - It is desirable that, as shown in
FIG. 5 , the newscomment input interface 420 further comprises a designated blogactivation selection unit 428 so that the designated blog may be activated according to the designated blog information (blog_info) when theuser terminal 300 selects the designated blogactivation selection unit 428. Thus, the inconvenience that the user needs to activate his (her) blog while reading a news article to access the blog and make a blog content may be obviated. - A news comment (news_cmt) is closely related to the corresponding news article since the news comment (news_cmt) is posted right below the news article. On the other hand, when a news comment (news_cmt) and a
blog content 510 are interconnected to each other, it is difficult for other users to understand theblog content 510 unless the news article is also posted together with theblog content 510. To solve such problem as above when the trackback between a news article and a blog content is set up, it is preferable that the second trackback interconnecting means 130 transmits the text or URL information of the corresponding news article (news_artc_info) to the first trackback interconnecting means 230, and the blog service providing means 210 further displays, as shown inFIG. 3 , a newsarticle access information 520 comprising the text or URL information of the news article in theblog content 510. In case of the trackback from thenews server 100 to theblog server 200, the text or URL information of the news article (news_artc_info) is transmitted to the first trackback interconnecting means 230 when the trackback ping (trac_ping) is transmitted thereto. In case of the trackback from theblog server 200 to thenews server 100, on the other hand, the text or URL information of the news article (news_artc_info) is transmitted to the first trackback interconnecting means 230 when the response to the trackback ping (trac_ping) is transmitted thereto. - Hereinafter, a news comment outputting means 126 for providing a completed news comment to users will be explained. The news comment outputting means 126 provides a
user terminal 300 with a newscomment output interface 430. The newscomment output interface 430, as shown inFIG. 10 , may comprise a news commentlist output unit 431 for outputting a list of the news comments (news_cmt), a commentatorinformation display unit 432 for displaying at least one of the ID, personacon (personality+icon), and nickname of the user who made the news comment (news_cmt) for every each of the news comments (news_cmt), and a trackbackinformation display unit 433 for displaying the news comment (news_cmt) for which the trackback with the blog is set up. It is desirable that the trackbackinformation display unit 433 carries out the function to notify on the news comment list that the trackback between a specific news comment and a blog is set up, and the function to link the news comment to the blog according to the trackback as well. For example, when auser terminal 300 selects the trackbackinformation display unit 433 by clicking, the blog to which the trackback is set up may be activated by means of pop-up or picture conversion so that a network between the news service users and the blog operators might be formed. - The title and contents of the news comment (news_cmt) may be inputted separately through the news
comment input unit 122, and the newscomment output interface 430 may be configured to provide only a title list of the news comments (news_cmt) to theuser terminal 300, and provide the contents of the news comment (news_cmt) at the user's option. Further, the newscomment output interface 430 may be configured to output only the news comments (news_cmt) for which trackbacks are set up at the user's option. - Hereinafter, referring to
FIG. 11 , a method for interconnecting a news and a blog by means of trackback will be explained. First, auser terminal 300 accesses anews server 100 through a communication network (S100), and then thenews server 100 provides theuser terminal 300 with a news article and/or news comments made on the news article (S200). Then, thenews server 100 receives a request from theuser terminal 300 for selecting thenews server 100 or ablog server 200, through which a news comment will be made (S250). If theuser terminal 300 makes a news comment using thenews server 100, the news comment is registered on the news bulletin board (S320). Then, thenews server 100 determines whether theuser terminal 300 requests the trackback of the news comment (S340). If so, thenews server 100 transmits a trackback ping to the corresponding blog server 200 (S400), and then theblog server 200 registers the news comment as a blog content (S500). - If the
user terminal 300 selects ablog server 200 to make a new comment at the S250 step above, thenews server 100 activates the user s predetermined blog thereby making theuser terminal 300 connected to the corresponding blog server 200 (S800). According to an embodiment of the present invention, thenews server 100 transmits a news article trackback information including the URL information of the news article to theuser terminal 300 before theuser terminal 300 accesses theblog server 200, so that the user might easily input the URL information of the news article to which the news comment made through the blog would be trackbacked. Next, if theuser terminal 300 connected to theblog server 200 makes a news comment on the corresponding news article in the form of a blog content, theblog server 200 registers the news comment as a blog content (S900). Then, theblog server 200 determines whether theuser terminal 300 transmits a trackback request with respect to the news comment registered as a blog content (S920). If receiving the trackback request from theuser terminal 300, theblog server 200 transmits a trackback ping to the news server 100 (S940), and then thenews server 100 registers the blog content on the news bulletin board (S1000). - Referring to
FIG. 12 which shows a signal flow of theblog server 200 during the trackback interconnecting process ofFIG. 11 between the news and the blog, the trackback process at theblog server 200 will be explained in detail. As shown inFIG. 12 , thenews server 100 activates a pre-designated blog of a user, thereby connecting theuser terminal 300 to the blog server 200 (S800). - Next, as the second step, the
user terminal 300 makes a news comment (news_cmt) using the blog service provided by theblog server 200. Theblog server 200 registers the news comment (news_cmt) as a blog content (S900) and, as the third step, transmits a trackback request (trac_ping) to the news server 100 (S940). - Finally, as the forth step, the
news server 100 registers the news comment (news_cmt) on the news bulletin board (S1000). - It is desirable, as shown in
FIG. 3 and unlike other general news comments, that when other users are willing to see the news comment (news_cmt) for which a trackback is set up, the blog content where the news comment (news_cmt) is made is configured to be activated immediately. For this purpose, as the fifth step, theuser terminal 300 accesses thenews server 100 and selects the news comment registered on the news bulletin board. And then, as the sixth step, thenews server 100 activates the blog content where the news comment (news_cmt) is registered if the news comment theuser terminal 300 selects has been trackbacked from theblog server 200. As illustrated inFIG. 3 , thenews server 100 may link the title of the news comment (news_cmt) with the URL information for accessing the corresponding blog content and activate the blog content by means of pop-up or picture-conversion when theuser terminal 300 clicks on the news comment (news_cmt). - Meanwhile, the user should be aware of the URL information of the news article to make a news comment (news_cmt) on it through his (her) blog service. For this purpose, as shown in
FIG. 12 , it is desirable that the trackback interconnecting method between the news and the blog further comprises the seventh step (S700) that thenews server 100 provides in advance the news article trackback information (trac_info) including the URL information of the news article on which the news comment (news_cmt) would be made, wherein theuser terminal 300 further transmits the news article trackback information (trac_info) to theblog server 200 when making the news comment at the second step, wherein theblog server 200 further sends the news article trackback information (trac_info) and news comment (news_cmt) to thenews server 100 when sending the trackback request at the third step (S940), and wherein thenews server 100 registers the news comment (news_cmt) on the news bulletin board of the corresponding news article based on the news article trackback information (trac_info) at the forth step (S1000). According to this embodiment, the user may find out the URL information of the news article for trackback without any unnecessary and burdensome process. - It is difficult for a user who accesses the blog content without using the
news server 100 to understand the blog content if the blog content contains only the news comment (news_cmt) and does not contain the news article. Thus, it is preferable that the blog content further includes the information about the news article. For this purpose, the trackback interconnecting method between the news and the blog may further comprise, after the forth step (S1000), the eighth step (S1010) that thenews server 100 provides theblog server 200 with the text or URL information (news_artc_info) of the news article on which the news comment (news_cmt) has been made, and the ninth step (S1020) that theblog server 200 further registers the link information (520) on the blog content for accessing the text or URL information (news_artc_info) of the news article. According to this embodiment, as shown inFIG. 3 , the blog content may provide not only the news comment (news_cmt) but also the news article information. - Generally, a user makes a news comment (news_cmt) while reading a news article through a news service. Thus, the user is required to activate his (her) blog through another web browser to trackback the news comment (news_cmt) through the
blog server 200, which is burdensome. To solve this kind of problem, it is desirable to designate a blog as an interconnecting object and register it in thenews server 100 so as to easily activate his (her) blog. For this purpose, the trackback interconnecting method between the news and the blog may further comprise the tenth step that theuser terminal 300 registers the designated blog information (blog_info) including the URL information of the blog service in thenews server 100, wherein thenews server 100 may be configured to activate the corresponding blog service based on the designated blog information (blog_info) at the first step (S800) when theuser terminal 300 connected to thenews server 100 is to make a news comment. According to this embodiment, thenews server 100 may enable a user to automatically access his (her) own blog without any further step therefor. - Next, referring to
FIG. 13 which shows a signal flow of thenews server 100 during the trackback interconnecting process ofFIG. 11 between the news and the blog, the trackback process at thenews server 100 will be explained in detail. - First, the
news server 100 provides theuser terminal 300 with a news comment input interface with which theuser terminal 300 makes the news comment (S300). At this time, if the designated blog information (blog_info) stored in thenews server 100 is for a plurality of blogs, theuser terminal 300 may further input the selected blog information (sel_blog_info). Theuser terminal 300 may further input the blog category information (blog_ctgr_info) or privilege to open information (blog_prv_info) to be set up. Theuser terminal 300 may further input the information for trackback of the news comment to the blog of the pressman of the news article. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 7 , theuser terminal 300 may input theevaluation 429 of the news by selecting one of the assent, dissent, protest, and the others. According to this embodiment, since the user is compelled to carefully consider how to evaluate the news before making a news comment, it is possible to prevent deterioration of quality of the news bulletin board due to the extemporary and impulsive news comment. - Then, the
news server 100 registers the news comment (news_cmt) inputted through the newscomment input interface 420 on the corresponding news bulletin board, and, if the pressman's blog is further selected, trackbacks the news comment (news_cmt) to the pressman's blog server 200 (S400). - Finally, the
blog server 200 registers the trackbacked news comment (news_cmt) as a blog content (S500). - According to this embodiment, the
user terminal 300 may save and manage the news comment (news_cmt) made using thenews server 100 in his (her) blog without being connected to the blog service. - It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variation can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
